Governing: Some Wyoming inmates housed in a Mississippi private prison will begin trickling back into the state by the end of September, officials said Thursday. But state corrections officials say more inmates will take their place due to overcrowding and staffing issues.
Carl Voigtsberger, who oversees inmate housing for the Wyoming Department of Corrections, said about 10 prisoners currently held in the Mississippi facility will return to Wyoming. He was not able to say exactly how many people would come back, but said those who do will mostly be prisoners eligible for parole.
